A gallery show of political cartoons created by cartoonist Ed Courrier presented by the Parkland Art League will run through June 30 at the Macungie Institute, 510 E. Main St. Macungie.

Courrier's editorial cartoons have appeared in local newspapers since he was a senior in high school.

Six months after graduating from Kent State University in 1977, Courrier found work at The Express, daily newspaper in Easton, as a staff artist.

In 1979, Courrier built up a freelance business as a graphic designer, illustrator and cartoonist.

Rodale Press, Rodale Institute, New Farm Magazine, the City of Allentown and Air Products were among his clients.

Courrier later was employed as the art director for Sing Out! magazine 1994 through 2012.

The Lehigh Valley Press weekly newspapers published Courrier's cartoons from August 1979 through August 1995.

In November 2007, Courrier once again had his work being published in the weekly papers.

A free gallery talk and workshop will take place 2 p.m. May 17 at Macungie Institute.

This exhibition is supported in part by the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts, by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and the National Endowment for the Arts.

The Lehigh Valley Arts Council serves as the regional partner of Pennsylvania Partners in the Arts to administer these grants in Lehigh, Northampton and Carbon counties.
